I voted for Ron Paul for President in 1988 - Jon Stewart just figured it out

In 1988, I was living in Fairfax, VA, and I voted for Ron Paul for president.  The Washington Post ran election results with vote counts by precinct back then.  In my precinct, the number of votes for Ron Paul published in the Post: ZERO. The message mainstream media delivered to me - your Libertarian vote does not count, and likely never will.

Two decades later, Jon Stewart has realized the same thing.
